Yeah they took the most wackass contract in the league HOWEVER what if it turns out that...they take Lonzo Ball, KCP and Solomon Hill in exchange for Porter to make the AD trade happen I don't know if that's shit's legal but lirl I wanna puke.

Sources: In Sacramento/Cleveland/Houston three-way deal, Sacramento is trading Iman Shumpert to Houston, Cavs sending Alec Burks and second round pick to Kings, and Brandon Knight and a pick to Cleveland.

Definitely baffled by that trade, although like you said 909, if he's just a pawn in the AD game it would be interesting. Not terrible for Washington to get off of that contract, especially their current state.

Was this just to do a solid for Anderson since he is a vet to go somewhere to get more playing time? It looks the money is about the same because there is no way Tyler Johnson opts out of 19 million next year.

If the Kings think they have a better shot at spending more money in the summer of 2020, then it isn't awful; that said this feels like the Kings trying to hold onto/get into that 8 spot. Or they certainly over-value Harrison Barnes's value which is most likely the case.

And the Kings, while they are heading in a better direction, they have spent the last 3 off-seasons spending almost all of their cap room and doing it on alternate year deals that didn't put them in a place for a ton of cap space, which they would have had this year.

I was JUST standing next to Wesley Johnson as he rubbed lotion over his torso and joked about smelling good for his wife when he got home...This business is insane. He and his family's lives changed that fast. https://t.co/3gV2Ho4Yon

Think I've mentioned before how awful the Suns commentary/announce/studio team but they were extra awful with how delusional they are tonight

Jamal Crawford is getting close to some kind of record. I think something along the lines of most career points to never be an All-Star, which has been a stat owned by Eddie Johnson, a longtime member of the Suns announce team. This led to them talking about how Eddie is one of the greatest shooters ever and got screwed, blah blah blah.

THey keep Tom Chambers in the studio and when he isn't getting DUIs, is super full of himself and overestimates how good he was. Yes, he had some good years, was a fringe All-Star but they started going off on how he is getting screwed out of being in the Hall of Fame. They gave a list of guys that he had more career points than that are Hall of Famers, like highlighting he has more career points than John Stockton. They proceeded to directly say that he should be in the Hall of Fame above Chris Mullin and Alonzo Mourning.

Yup. Doctor Internet tells me that Crawford will tie Johnson on his next made field goal, or pass him on a three.

I mean, Tom Chambers is deluded, but I can sympathize: until he retired, twenty thousand points was a "magic number" in the NBA. As of right now, there are only two players in NBA history who are "officially" retired with 20K+ points, who are eligible for the Hall of Fame, and are not in: Tom Chambers, and Antawn Jamison. All thirty of the other players to crack 20K who are HOF-eligible are in the Hall (Kobe, Duncan, Pierce and KG are not yet eligible).

Chambers and Jamison are going to be joined by Joe Johnson, once he officially announces his retirement.

I like getting Porter for Chicago. I don't know how he affects the cap for the off season. But it really doesn't matter because GarPax can't lure any free agents anyway. Trapping guys through trades is their best bet from now on.

I wonder what happens if the Bulls end up with the number one pick. Would they draft Ja Morant over Zion because even though they need a stud point guard desperately, I'm not taking anyone over Zion in the draft.

I really don't know what to think about the trade. Porter's still young and is a much better player than Portis and Parker. The contract is crippling but only for two seasons after this and the Bulls aren't gonna be good by then. They won't be a destination for a top 15 free agent until they ditch the front office. I'm gonna stay optimistic and he might actually thrive here.

This is really NBA minutia but.. Today’s Lakers-Clippers trade is the first between the teams since 1983! Norm Nixon, Eddie Jordan and a 1986 2nd-round pick that became Jeff Hornacek went from the Lakers to the Clippers for Byron Scott, Swen Nater and a pick (Bruce Dalrymple)

Clippers trade Mike Muscala to the Lakers for Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac

That trade basically signifies to me that they are gonna sign the 59 year old Melo man.

I was gone but I was gonna say that signing Melo would be better than what they had. They also would have had to renounce Zubac this summer in order to go big in free agency, so they traded someone who was already leaving, who was undeservedly taking playing time away from two better centers. I ain't mad.

It was interesting seeing some of the traded guys already have big nights last night. Dennis Smith Jr. had 30-some in the Knicks 15th straight loss, Bobby Portis had 30 in his Wizards debut and Otto Porter Jr. had a solid outing in a Bulls win.
